""Well if you're so fucking cosmic, you'll know why." One of my favorite John lines of all time. It's just so quintessentially John and it cracks me up.

It's kinda sad John didn'r ask the girl about it, he just took Alex's (untruthful as itvturned out) word.

The Maharishi would have been proficient in Kama (Kundalini)Yoga. For him it would have been entirely consistent with his spiritual tradition to have chosen a disciple for such an introduction (initiation). A local woman would have been honoured with this rare opportunity to enter the path to Enlightenment. Westerners of the 1970s, me included, would have had no knowledge, let alone any experience, of any of this. However, to their credit, they had the sense of honour to disguise his identity.

[@mythos8558]

The Maharishi was nothing more than a grifting sex pest who talked cosmic metaphysical horseshit.

I was 18 when Abbey Road came out. At the time I was an apprentice at British Aerospace in Stevenage. I would not agree it got a lukewarm reception except perhaps by the critics. We loved it. There were two of us apprentices working in the wages department for a couple of weeks. We spent all day every day singing the album from start to finish much to the surprise of the permanent staff there.

[@guitartech-uk]

I Agree, I remember everyone seemed to love the album, the BBC played it on TV with animations, many dj's played it in its entirety, very few if any gave it lukewarm reception, anyone would have been scorned , after one listen most people I knew even classical musicians loved and appreciated it, it was quite diverse with what would become classics as well as comedic songs, I enjoyed the overall video but there seemed to be a few negative remarks creeping in throughout.

George and John were the impressionable ones of the four, which explains why Paul and Ringo got out quick. I remember at the height of the transcendental meditation thing, a friend and I attended four 1 hour classes, and when leaving after the last day, I pictured my $70 fee flying out of the window.

Well I disagree, this album had the most filler songs that if they were collaborating better…would never have seen the light of day until Anthology 3. Songs like Wild Honey Pie, Revolution 9, Honey Pie and The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill should have been left off. There are a bunch of others that could be in that category.

Sgt Peppers was spectacular. Who knew they had more to come after that? Every band on earth felt it was impossible to out do that I can imagine even The Beatles themselves felt it was going to be quite a feat to out do themselves after that. The White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be proved they could. Perfect way to go out as I would think in all logic and reason aside from John wanting to leave they all knew it was becoming impossible to out do themselves anymore. So leave the fans blown away and wanting more. If they had remained together just for the money or to satisfy fans the music could have seriously suffered. They were all at that point so talented they simply didn't need each other anymore to grow.

Bah, I found an error. "George Harrison turned 24y.o. while studying TM in India" - No he didn't, he turned 25 (1968 - 1943 = 25). As commendable these videos are from this channel, there is always at least one glaringly obvious error in them that any self respecting Beatlemaniac would cringe at.

It's odd to me how many Beatle histories talk about the White Album as the next one after Pepper.

[@thenomad525]

The Beatles went to see The Maharishi in Bangor who was holding a seminar not long after they had lost Brian Epstein (summer 1967) but prior to recording a batch of new material, including The Fool on the Hill which would appear on the forthcoming EP Magical Mystery Tour. That would tie in.

[@glennquagmire7696]

Fool On The Hill was recorded prior to the band outing with MMY. Although, McCartney did state some years ago that he would've described MMY as "a fool on the hill". Who knows with Macca? He's like Townshend...says differing shit from being asked the same questions for the past fifty years. But, overall, this is a damn good review. Enjoyed it.

[@filmretrospective5334]

Thanks for watching

[@damndirtyape1363]

i came here to say the same thing with respect to the chronology

[@Gabriel2oh6]

It’s still possible Fool On The Hill was written about the Maharishi, completely unrelated to the trip, as they had been long aware and interested in the Maharishi.

[@user-fu2mi1nd5l]

Fool on the hill is about Paul.@@Gabriel2oh6

[@eldiablo8580]

Sorry but that is not the case, the video maker, in this instance has got it 100% correct. The Beatles first went to see the Maharishi in London the week before Brian Epstein died. 2 days after that 1st lecture, they travelled to Bangor in Wales with MMY to get initiated into TM. Then on August 27, 1967, Epstein died. It was only after they had reconvened after their manager had died that the Beatles agreed to push ahead with the Magical Mystery Tour project, and that was when the bulk of the songs on MMT were recorded. Up to that point the only MMT song recorded was the title track itself. The Fool On The Hill was recorded after I Am The Walrus, which didn't get started until 5 September, plenty of time for Paul to write a song called The Fool on the Hill about a fool type character, always laughing at everything. If you think their first encounter with MMY was in India in 1968, then you are misguided.

@@filmretrospective5334 The key is to have it positioned a few inches away from the capsule and address your mic slightly off-axis. You want the wind energy to be dispersed before hitting the capsule. VO is always an iterative process, you've got a solid start already. The cheap ones aren't particularly good but you don't have to spend a ton of money either.

5:45 The reason Maharishi didn't want them to leave is Money. In order to be given the personal-chant word that you alone must chant as a part of learning Transcendental Meditation there is a fee. The fee is usually based on the ability to pay. Can't imagine what Maharishi thought the Beatles ought to pay. Probably a substantial amount. When I lived near the Ashram in N.C. I was approached to take a weekend retreat to be taught Transcendental Meditation. The fee for me was $1000. And that was a discounted rate.

Don't be another one of those people who imagines that their love for the Beatles is equivalent to having your finger on the pulse of modern music. What were you trying to say, that nobody could possibly make stuff as good as them? Or were you trying to say something more-truthful, like 'few artists are ever lucky enough to meet a great producer who will do amazing work with their music, let alone be in the extremely-rare position of getting to use new technology on well-promoted commercial music and become famous for it regardless of who else used it and how well they did it'?
